Abstract

This paper is to develop first order necessary optimality conditions for a mathematical program with second-order cone complementarity constraints (MPSCC) which includes the mathematical program with (vector) complementarity constraints (MPCC) as a special case. Like the case of MPCC, Robinson’s constraint qualification fails at every feasible point of MPSCC if we treat the MPSCC as an ordinary optimization problem. Using the formulas of regular and limiting coderivatives and generalized Clarke’s Jacobian of the projection operator onto second-order cones from the literature, we present the S-, M-, C- and A-stationary conditions for a MPSCC problem. Moreover, several constraint qualifications including MPSCC-Abadie CQ, MPSCC-LICQ, MPSCC-MFCQ and MPSCC-GMFCQ are proposed, under which a local minimizer of MPSCC is shown to be a S-, M-, C- or A-stationary point.
